1 key to guaranteed success.

1 Key to GUARANTEE your success
There truly is 1 simple key to guarantee you get your desired results every time no matter what it is you are trying to achieve. That key is YOUR MINDSET.
Does that sound too easy? Ok let me put it to you this way “If you think you can or you think you can’t either way you are right.”Now let’s just think about this for a minute. If I think I can do something I can? No of course not .That would be just silly. Certain things need to happen. Your mindset must be right. You must believe in yourself and your goals. See yourself and your goal. Envision it.
Look around you people everywhere are using their mindset to know success. Consider paralympians these inspiring people from all walks of life have fought back. They are not where they are because someone told them to be and it certainly didn’t just happen. These people have worked hard, sacrificed much to achieve their dream .I can also guarantee that for most of them this was NOT their first choice as far as their dream is concerned. In fact it probably wasn’t even on the radar as far as life dreams are concerned. Ultimately they made a choice and that choice was NEVER GIVE UP! They put their mind to it and did whatever it took. I am sure that at times the price would have seemed to high .The physical pain to great but they pushed on because they had a goal.
Ask any successful business person how they became successful. They will tell you hard work, sacrifice and a positive mindset. Ask a body builder how he/she gets through the pain barrier they will tell positive mindset .They do it because they have a goal .They can see the end result in their mind.
Now I can hear the objections you need money, time, and influential people. You can’t just wake up one morning and start working on your goal. I don’t have time to go after my goal. My friends would think I’m mad. I can’t afford my goal. I wouldn’t know where to start. Now let me ask you this. Do you think the people I spoke of above didn’t face these same objections ?I can assure you they did and many more .Don’t get me wrong here you do need the above things to go after your dream .However you are never going to get your goal tomorrow it takes time . You need a plan .Take it one step at a time and sometimes there will be backward steps. These backward steps test your resolve .They sometimes make us want to give up. Look at it this way a backward step is a learning curve. A backward step still has movement .It is when you stop that your goal does .Remember the paralympians ...NEVER GIVE UP.
In today’s world of high speed internet there is NOTHING and I mean NOTHING you can’t find out. We have social media that can put us in contact with those who can help. There are 24 hours in a day No one I have ever known or ever heard of has had any more or any less hours to work with. These days Money is more accessible to us all. Anyone can be money rich. The truth is most successful people started with very little or none.
Now I’m not saying that going after your goal is going to be easy .The truth is it will probably be damn hard but consider your goal – wouldn’t it be good. Wouldn’t it be worth it? To be doing or have what you love .To quote “Work at what you love and you will never work a day in your life”.
I put together this article to hopefully inspire you to go after your goal whatever it may be. To remind you many are already living their dream. Make a start, don’t give up and you WILL get there.
So remember 1 key to guarantee your success and the best part is it won’t cost you a cent .POSITIVE MINDSET.
Thank-you

COMMON MYTHS.

These 9 common myths are only a few amongst many.It never ceases to amaze me that people are only interested in a quick fix and will spend a fortune for these band-aids.Make no mistake Taking a pill to lose weight may get you results today but what happens when you go back to your normal routine.It's a band-aid.Helps for a little while but in the end only good "body fuel" and good old fashioned exercise is going to give you perminate results.
1.Drinking hot water will increase my metabolism.(FALSE)
2.Some foods have negative kilojoules.(FALSE)
3.Fasting is a quick and effective way to lose weight.(FALSE)
4.Doing sit-ups will flatten your belly (FALSE)
5.Cut out carbs after 5 pm.(FALSE)
6.Exercising on an empty stomach will help burn more fat in less time (FALSE)
7.Diet alone will lead to long term sustained weight loss.(FALSE)
8.Eating less shrinks your stomach over time (FALSE)
9.There is a fat burning zone you can reach with low intensity exercise (FALSE)
I do understand that we are living in a fast paced world and time to do the required exercise and time to prepare nutritious meals is difficult to find .However I have found with a little pre-preparing and organisation it can easily be done .
The body needs the right fuel to run at it's best.We so often take our health for granted and it's only when it is to late or almost to late that we make the changes .
Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today .Your health determines who you are and the lifestyle you'll lead.
Be the best you can be.

What not to do ....

There are many many weight loss programs and diets out there claiming success.We would like to share with you some big "NO ,NO'S for you to consider .
1 .Deny yourself treat foods.
2 .weigh yourself daily.
3 .Raid the fridge during the night .
4 .Think your life will change dramatically when you lose weight.
5 .Attempt to cut out fat completely .
6 .Eat because your tired or stressed rather than hungry.
7 .Skip meals .
8 .Eat unlimited amounts of lite foods.
9 .Say you'll start tomorrow .
10.Take Laxatives.
When you decide to start your new fitness and nutrition plan go with plan that is full of good nutrition , support, exercise and fits your daily life . The most important thing you should consider is "can you maintain the plan for the rest of your life ?"

LEG EXTENTIONS.

The leg extention is used to work the *rectus femoris * vastus intermedius *vastus lateralis and * vastus medialis.
In the seated position rest the back of your knees against the edge of the seat.The resistance pad should be just above your ankle .Keep your torso upright and your hips pulled down into the seat.Exhale while extending your legs ,kicking your feet outward and up until yout knees are completely extented. Inhale as you return to the starting position keeping it controled all the way back down.
Avoid any space between the back of your knees and the seat edge , any spinal movement, elevating your shoulders or allowing your gluteals to lift off the seat.
Have fun.

Craving Busters..

The top 9 craving busters.
9. substitute with a lesser evil
8.chew sugar free gum
7.Brush your teeth
6.Have a cup of black coffee/tea
5.Have half a handful of unsalted nuts.
4.Tell yourself -wait!!!!
3.Drink water .
2.Keep pre-prepared nutritious snacks for these times.
1.Distract yourself with activity.

When you are struggling to control the cravings try one of the above .A good distraction that is not on the above list is "YOUR GOAL" keep your goal at the fore front of your mind at all times . Place pictures to re-inforce your goal,on your fridge.

CQ10 ...50mg/100mg

Claims have been made that CQ10 is the most used supplement in the world for heart health.Consider that our heart is not the only way we can benefit from this supplement and that research into all it can do is only in early stages , one can only say WOW.!!!!
CQ10 makes adenosine triphsphate (ATP) .ATP is the cells major energy source .It drives a number of biological processes including muscle contraction and the production of protein .
CQ10 will boost your energy levels , enhance your immune system and also acts as an antioxidant.
So once again I find myself glad that my coach got me started on this little "wonder pill" .Seriously though if you are someone who is reading this thinking maybe I need that or you want to try it with your work outs give us a call.
I have done some research of my own on CQ10 and found side effects are very minimal .If you are on heart medication it is best you consult your GP.

Fantastic foods .

Read an intersting article in the Muscle and Fitness magazine about foods you should never be with out .Will share some of them .
Broccoli...a nutritional overachiever.
Tinned Salmon ......packed with protein
Red Peppers .....In the vegie world they are the vitamin C heavyweights.
Low fat Cottage cheese.....Slow digesting to supply a steady supply of amino acids.
Prawns....unbeatable protein to fat ratio.
Eggs .....for breakfast can satisfy your hunger and prevent over eating later.
Chicken.....synthesises to repair muscle tissue.
These are just a few mentioned that if included in our nutrition plan can help us see great results .
AWSUMBODY is going to do some more recipes that include more of these "power" foods .
Enjoy your day

CQ10 (coenzyme) "THE HEART ENERGIZER"

What is CQ10 ? In simple terms it is a nutriant your body must take is to feed your cells so that the body can operate at it's best.It is critcal in the production of energy and is a powerful antioxidant that destroys free radicals.
CQ10 is made up of 2 parts
1 proteins
2 a mineral/vitamin(coenzyme)
CQ10 is similar in structure to vitamin K.
Your heart has the highest levels of CQ10 however it is also found in the liver and kidneys.
Only very small amounts are found in food (seafood)
CQ10 helps with weightloss because it stimulates the metabolism.
Many athletes and body builders use it .
Research is being done into all that this supplyment can do including it's effects on some cancers and scientists are having some positive results in CQ10 research with Parkinsons disease .
Reserchers have also discovered that many heart problems are due to a lack of CQ10 .Thats not to say all heart problems are caused by lack of CQ10 but given that our CQ10 levels deplete with age it stands to reason.
If you would like to know more feel free to contact us and remember also that you should always consult your GP before taking any new supplements or vitamins.

Brenda tells her CQ10 story.

Hi all.I would like to share a little of what I have learned about this wonderful little supplement .
Firstly before I started on the AWSUMBODY program I had never heard of CQ10.
So when Phil said it was something I should include in my training regime I went with his expert opinion and began taking them twice daily and 2 1/2 hour before each training session. Ok whats the big deal ...What do they do ? Yeah I was feeling better , more energy but isn't that what the program was doing not just the CQ10 ?
Then came the day I forget to take them before a training session . Half way through I was spent ...What was wrong ? I was doing everything right , my nutrition had been good that day and yet I was struggling BIG time .
Then coach (Phil) asked the question "Did you take your CQ10 ?" I honestly could not believe I was struggling because I had forgotten to take these lttle "wonder work out pills" It truely is amazing . No it's not an addiction or habit .The CQ10 carries oxygen through the blood and opens up the vessels (my interpritation at the time ). so there you have it I proved they work for me I don't often forget to take them these days but am very quick to pick up that I haven't .
If you have never heard of CQ10 or would like to try them out in your training program let us know . AWSUMBODY supplies all the BLOOMS health range including CQ10
